        Verdict

        ALFARRIS made a winning reappearance in maiden company over a mile here and this longer trip should suit. The latter comment also applies to Melting Dew, who makes his handicap debut after winning at Lingfield in November. Haulani has won a handicap but was behind Galactic Prince over today’s trip at Salisbury last time and the latter is preferred to Gee Sixty Six and Glorious Power. Pirate Look and Villette remain unexposed though neither have threatened in handicaps as of yet.
